Shortened Sirui K-20X Ball Head Review

[@blueridgedsia]

Hien, thanks for doing a review on this. There are not many covering this series on ballheads.

Excellent review, you explained the Arca Plate connection in detail. Thank You

Very excellent video. I appreciate the logic and objectiveness while showing the head used with what it's designed for and something that would be considered excessive the design. With that said, what would be your suggestion for the strongest ball head available that could hold 15+ pounds? I'm not a photographer, but a precision rifle shooter. The gear you guys use is excellent for what we need as well. I'm trying to stay bellow a certain price of $100 to prove a point to some of my buddies. Thank you for your time and for this video.

Just curious, but why didn't you go with the K-40X or even the Ph-20 for your 600mm? I have both and am very happy! So much so I am thinking of trying a couple of the Sirui tripods

+Smokin07ram Hi...I have a different setup for my 600mm - a different tripod and gimbal head for BIF (from Jobu Design). I'm using the K-20X on a Velbon El Carmagne 635 tripod for landscapes and other non-BIF activities (using a setup that weighs 6lbs. The K-20X is perfect for that role). I threw in the 600mm just for dramatic illustration but never intended to use it with the 600mm :).

I see...Dramatic is good! :)

Thanks for your review. Can I please ask you what camera strap brand do you use? is it good? Thanks in advance.

+antananarivo201 Thanks for watching. I use a OP/TECH USA Utility Strap - Sling (Black). With it, your camera hangs securely at your side and will glide up and down the sling without interfering with a camera's tripod connection. I love this strap...it's the best $25 I ever spent.

Hi Hien , Have u tried the Sirui K-40x with this lens how is it behave ? K-40X is 54 mm ball head

[@TonghoPhotography]

Hi,,,I thought of doing that except I don't have a K-40X. I use a gimbal head for my big lens it's more suitable than a ball head like the K-40X. I think it would work well, better than the K-20 which is too small for such lens.

[@TonghoPhotography]
